I finally got my computer back up and running. That means more music production (I’ve also kicked my buddy who I’m collaborating with on a hip-hop project in the ass to start finishing his lyrics). I can’t wait to get back going. I was in the process of finalizing the demos and getting recordings laid down. I’ll post more stuff as it progresses and make updates to http://arisingforce.com/

I really like the idea of concept albums as a creative outlet. Putting one together requires much more planning versus a single song (in my opinion). There have been quite a few that I’ve liked over the years, so I thought I’d list them out starting with the one that inspired me to write my own concept album:

Wow, it’s been a while since I wrote here. I’ve updated my site http://arisingforce.com/ with the beginnings of what it will become. I need to add a lot more functionality in the way of feedback.

we kill to win, to cleanse their sins, with blood red hands, we sacrifice,

Well, I’ve finally decided to take the plunge into formal public blogging. I’ve had a blog for the last year, but it has always been private and using my own webspace. I guess I decided to start here in an effort to actually have an impact. I love music, sports, technology, world news, and all of life. Hopefully this will be a good forum to reach out
